Bag of painted velvet. Cream cut velvet painted with a different spray of flowers on each side, curving across the lower half of the bag. On one side is a large rose with buds in orange, groups of maroon and white auricula with yellow centres to either side, and two sweet-pea blooms in blue and the orange-brown at the tip of the spray. Rose leaves in varying shades of green set off the flowers. The other side has a spray of wild roses and columbines in blue and brown.

The bag is almost round in shape, flattening slightly at the opening. A thick cream silk cord conceals the join in the two sides of the velvet, ornaments the top opening with a double row to each side, helping to conceal the few gathers in the velvet and provides a cord which passes through three metal rings on either side of the bag to suspend it and hold it shut. Strips of metal stiffening to either side of the opening prevent the bag from losing its shape when this cord is drawn tight. Lined with white silk. To either side of the bag hangs a tassel 4.5 inches long, is of cream floss silk wound on a wooden bell-shape, and with silk cords stretched over it at intervals and a fall of thicker twisted silk cords.
